President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu

Donald Trump has said that Palestinians have “no alternative” but to leave Gaza due to the devastation left by Israel’s war on Hamas, in effect endorsing ethnic cleansing of the territory over the opposition of Palestinians and the neighbouring countries.

Speaking as he prepared to host Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Tuesday, Trump repeated the suggestion that Gaza’s population should be relocated to Jordan and Egypt – something both countries have firmly rejected.

Trump claimed Palestinians would “love to leave Gaza”, telling reporters: “I would think that they would be thrilled.”

      don’t you think maybe you should consider what I’m actually helping with

      no. it’s irrelevant to whether you’re participating in this conversation productively. you’re not. you’re derailing.

        You still haven’t told me what part of the ToS I have violated despite implying you have contacted the admins.

        That seems like “bad faith engagement” to me.

          I don’t get to determine that. it’s up to mods and admins.

            So you report people for violating rules even if you don’t actually know what those rules are?

            That definitely sounds like bad faith. And trolling. And a headache for the admin.
